"The soul was very unclean and filled with debris. When the pile arrived there were enough rocks in them to fill a 3

bucket. I called

" ...More , the owner, and he offered to send someone to take the rocks out by hand. We took him up on this offer and one of his men took about 1.5 hours shoveling through the pile and removing rocks. He removed enough to fill a 3

bucket.
He did the best he could but I still found a lot of rocks in the soil because he obviously couldn't get all of them. I also found some glass shards, pieces of garbage and plastic, as well as many sticks and roots. To put it bluntly - the soil was very poor quality. There was also a very high ratio of clay in the material and was not what I would have expected in a top soil that cost 50 dollars per yard delivered.
Look elsewhere for top soil. Their product is not up to par.

How to Get Rid of Springtails

One of the most effective ways to control springtails is to dry out the infested area. Springtails require a high-moisture environment to breed and thrive, living mostly off of algaes that grow in moist conditions. They will either leave the infested area or die out. If there is an infestation that cannot be controlled by drying out the infested area, use an appropriately labeled insecticide with a residual time These will typically be a liquid concentrate form, a wet-able powder form, or a dust product. DO NOT APPLY UNTIL AREAS ARE DRY. If area will not dry naturally, use Corn Starch to soak-up any lingering moisture and otherwise 'steer' any rain water or irrigation away from area.

Also, if there is a noticed springtail infestation around the perimeter of the structure, use the insecticide to do a barrier treatment and apply corn starch to reduce or eliminate moisture. Caulk and seal all cracks and crevices and inspect potted plants before they are brought into the house.

I would talk to your local lawn and garden supply store (or mill and feed) - NOT a box store or hardware store. There are also selective grass control chemicals. YOu can research this by Googling using search string "Tall Fescue Control" - there are lots of articles by the USDA and individual state cooperative extension services.

There is a treatment called chlorsulfuron TFC (Tall Fescue Control) that will do this - it worked for me in western New York, but took 3 years to finish out all the tall fescue. It may now be limited to use by commercial applicators - pretty potent stuff. Can yellow bluegrass or make it phytosensitive, but our looked OK during treatment because the TFC was applied in the fall for best results, and our lawn was dormant till spring anyway.

Tall fescue can also be controlled by real short mowing, but only in areas where the bluegrass is dominant and really thrives so will eventually crowd out the trimmed fescue, but you may be too far north for that.

“

They come weekly throughout the year and provide services needed; mowing, trimming, weeding, pruning, etc. Winter months don't require full maintenance. The weekly workers are very friendly and keep to themselves which is nice since I have small kiddos and my hands are tied most hours of the day! They tend to come in teams of two or three so it ...More seems to make for very quick work and they're usually gone in 20-30 min. I am very happy with the services and they are very responsive if we need to get a hold of them.

THANKS

right away. We were able to set up a first appointment within a week. The gentleman who came out to our yard was professional, friendly, and did exactly what we expected to the lawn. It was the same experience the next someone came out. I think it was the same person as the first visit.

and his 3-man crew arrived early and started working right away.

took me to Lowe's to guide me in picking out appropriate bushes to replace the ones that had died. I thought that this was really nice, rather than letting me go by myself and maybe picking out bushes that were not appropriate for ...More the spots they were going in, such as spots that had constant direct sun,etc.

and his crew worked for about 6 hours straight, not even taking a lunch break and finished in one day. They were professional and pleasant, even though it was a very hot day and it couldn't have been pleasant working in the hot sun. They did a beautiful job, and I was very happy with how my yard looked.

said that the weeds were not just pulled out, but taken out with a shovel and that they should not grow back. He said that if they do grow back, he will take them out at no charge.
There was one misunderstanding: When

came to do the estimate, I mentioned putting landscaping stones down on the areas that were just dirt. I wasn't sure I wanted to do this right away because of the added cost. On the day that the work was done,

said that I hadn't mentioned this. I actually thought that the price he quoted me included the stones. Maybe this slipped his mind because I expressed uncertainty about doing this right away.
The only thing I was not completely satisfied with was the price. I was in a hurry to get the job done and did not do much research. However, afterwards I did look at some of the other jobs on Angie's List that seemed similar to mine, and the prices were lower. But if

was right and the weeds don't grow back, or if they do, he keeps his promise to remove them for free, the price would be worth it.
Overall, the work was excellent and

was nice to work with.”

Soon after purchasing the special, I received an email notice on Angie's List that they would contact me after the ground thawed. I was never contacted, but the service was completed when I noticed the plugs in my yard. I never received any calls from
